Despite changes, there is still far too much 'lazy' block quoting on this site. If it's a follow-on post on many occasions a "quote" would seem unnecessary, otherwise a selectively edited abridged quote would be quite sufficient one would have thought. It just takes a jiffy to trim quoted text to remove the excess and, after all, it's good writing etiquette and improves readability. Caused to wonder why so many regular posters can’t be bothered?
I agree trimming quoted text is easy when you're using a mouse. But on a phone or tablet with only a touchscreen it's a much more laborious and error-prone process.
